Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Yes, this unit is made in the USA. The lady who came up with the system is a fellow quilter who was just like the rest of us, struggling with the dreaded drag. I love the fact that I am buying something made in the USA and supporting a fellow quilter. Such a nice lady too!Originally Posted by Maggie_Sue
Yup, you're preaching to the converted. Here's my set up my husband made for me out of a repurposed roof rack off our camper. Love it! And here is a link for another similar solution using a coat rack. http://rhondabracey.com/2014/04/27/i...hold-up-quilt/
its t's well worth the effort to come up with something similar, because it makes the quilting process way more enjoyable and improves the ability for a great outcome.
Oh my gosh!! What a wonderful idea! I have hesitated to quilt on my DSM because I have shoulder and back problems to start with. I have just showed my DH these pictures. Now all I have to do is convince him what a great idea it would be to have one and save all that money on long arm quilting. :-)

I have been quilting 2 hours this morning. Feel like I am quilting a small table runner instead of a full size quilt! No shoulder, neck or back pain. I cannot stop smiling, having so much fun!
Kathy, do you use for smaller sized (laptop,etc) as well. I would love it for the Queen sized but I don't make nearly as many of those. I think it would be nice to have when I do make one but in the meantime will I have more use for it than on rare occasions. Thanks!
very intersting
Have a nice day and a safe one too!
Live today not tomorrow because it may never come!

Even with a nice large table set up I have a terrible problem with drag. Thank you for posting about this Kathy! I love the homemade solutions too.

What a great quilting tool. I looked at it and thought to myself, I can make one. I have all of the PVC pipe and fittings but not the suspenders and clamps. Then decided that it would be so much easier to purchase one. Which I am going to do. Now I can no longer tell myself, "NO MORE BIG QUILTS". BTW the link did not work for me so here is the link to try http://www.jennoop.com/quilt-suspenders.html .
Sweet Caroline
Caroline, you are going to love this system! I have been quilting since 11:00 am this morning. Just turned my machine off and will resume tomorrow. I feel fantastic, no neck, back or shoulder pain!!!What a great quilting tool. I looked at it and thought to myself, I can make one. I have all of the PVC pipe and fittings but not the suspenders and clamps. Then decided that it would be so much easier to purchase one. Which I am going to do.
